LIST OF PARTIES TO THE DISPUTE:
The names and contact details of those who you think will need to attend the mediation.
What must also be borne in mind, however, is that ever since the whole concept of individualisation was originally imposed over Maori concepts of ownership, the necessary resourcing to keep lists of owners up to date has generally been inadequate.

TIKANGA MĀORI
Having indicated earlier that tikanga Māori cannot be reduced to writing and thereby set in concrete by
legislation, I have set out below a number of tikanga that most tohunga (Māori experts in matters Māori)
would agree exist and should be applied. The list is not comprehensive, nor should they be considered
as such, as there are nuances and variations dependant on rohe (the region) and tribal custom.
The charter may include the following:
• the name of the marae
• a general description of the marae reservation
• a list of iwi15, hapū or whānau who are the beneficiaries of
the marae reservation
• the process for nominating and selecting marae trustees
• how trustees are accountable to the beneficiaries
• the process to resolve any conflict between trustees and
beneficiaries
• a recognition of the committees associated with the marae
• the appointment of one or more committees...
